About the item in general:

Despite the presence of the Romans, Phoenicians, Ottomans, and French, the traditional Algerian costume has kept its personality. Moreover, the burnous has grown during the Middle Ages where we could see this hooded cape being worn by nobles living in the castles. Until today we can find it in movies like Star Wars, it is the cape that the Jedis wear in order to hide their faces. The Burnous was certainly inspired by George Lucas during the filming of Star Wars in Tataouine in the southern Tunisian Berber region.
